gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Very nice, just watch what images you use as close up's, especially for higher level approval OR do a little more sanding, a few areas 3D print lines can still be seen For L2 EIB 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblcross[TK] Posted February 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just heard from the Armorer, and was ask about glove size. Something I haven't seen is the proper way to measure hand size? Is there a rule of Thumb on this (see what I did there) for the chemical gloves that Triple D has with his Kits?

Not sure what Dave supplies. Luckily we can purchase rubber gloves from our local grocery shops for any a few dollars, so I purchased two pairs, medium and large, I found the large a bit too big, but they are ok for washing up and spray painting. Note many of use wear soft cotton inners which soak up any sweat, I normally go through 2 or 3 pairs on a hot troop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Dave (DDD) uses the same vendor I do for rubber gloves. I normally wear a medium in regular gloves but a small in the chemical type as they tend to run large and I prefer the dexterity.

dblcross[TK] Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 My neck seal and holster came in today. I've got a question about Damin's Props holster. What is the extra length of leather from the strap, with a hole punched in it for? Do I need to trim it? Or should I not worry with it because it's on the backside? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can lenghten the strap if needs be. You need to ad a snap on your own though, if it somehow ”gets in the way” then cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Daniel already said, that extra leather material on the back is to provide you with flexibility on strap length. If you had a baster that didn't quite fit you could extend the strap and either punch in your own new holes, or use the second one that Darman pre-punches. Looks like Mario also already hit you up with a list of AM builds. Man, I do particularly love A.J.'s build... so much so that I compiled a PDF of it to print or view on a tablet or mobile device. Haha. Have you already ordered your boots from Imperial Boots, now known as KeepTrooping.com? That's a link to the white 421s that are excellent, and they currently have a production wave open right now! Also I gotta mention something about thermal detonators, which who knows, I may have already told you at some point. Dave makes my favorite one (proper diameter size and colored tube), but I do still prefer to use Tony's (Ukswrath) clips. I'm looking forward to your BBB Day, and I'm sure the anticipation is killing you too! Soon and very soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would suggest , for approval photos or Higher levels submission don't wear the blaster into the holster, (usually it makes the Ab belt to bend a bit to the side ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
